PBKS v DC: Match Called Off, Due To Floodlight Failure Or Security Reason

The 58th IPL 2025 match between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), which was scheduled for May 8 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, was called off because of security issues brought on by regional tensions.

Match Summary

Priyansh Arya hit a quick 70, Prabhsimran Singh’s 50 runs, PBKS scored 122/1

Rain and a wet outfield caused a 90-minute delay, but PBKS got off to a fast start in their innings. Priyansh Arya hit a quick 70 from 34 balls, which included five boundaries and six sixes. With 50 off 28 balls, Prabhsimran Singh stayed undefeated and set a record for the most straight half-centuries in IPL history for an uncapped player. PBKS's greatest partnership versus DC was tied by the pair's 122-run opening stand.

Match Interruption and Abandonment

A power interruption at 10.1 overs, with PBKS at 122/1, caused the floodlights to malfunction. Officials then evacuated players and fans as a precaution after issuing a red alert in Jammu, which is almost 200 kilometers distant. Both teams received one point each when the game was declared officially abandoned.

Venue and Schedule Updates

This game marked the season's final IPL match to be played in Dharamsala. The upcoming home match between PBKS vs MI 61st Match IPL 2025 has been moved to Ahmedabad due to rising tensions and logistical issues, such as the shutdown of neighboring airports.
